2 of the easiest ways would be an over heat and no heat in the vehicle. that is if the thermostat is not defective it is most likely the water pump

The power steering pump pulley must be flushed with the power steering pump shaft,Or else you will have noise or slips right off.

There should no vacuum at the EGR valve at idle. Look at the solenoid that controls the EGR valve....it could be stuck open or the solenoid is shorted open

Improve the FixYa experience for everyone by voting.There is one fuse box located under the dash on the drivers side above the gas and brake pedal. The second fuse box is located in the engine compartment on the drivers side close the the headlamp.The exact fuse should be etched on the fuse box lid, on the top or inside the lid. If not, it will be in the owner's manual.

If you remove the interior light fuse just to turn it off and to turn off the dinging noise then for sure this will drive you nuts, That fuse is part of the shift interlock,what this mean you wont be able to get the car out of park.That interior light and ding is part of the GEM module so you have to fix the problem,in the driver door panel part of the door lock assemble is the switch,either you disconnect that switch or you replace the switch.

Possible leaks are 1. Transmission belly Pan gasket 2. Front pump/torque converter seal. 3. Transmission fluid cooler lines 4. Axle seals at right and left half shafts.

sounds like the motor for the driver side door is either burnt or the connections are loose or corroded. i would remove the sdoor panel and inspect the motor and its connections

Just about all you can do is check the transmission fluid level and condition. Unless the fluid is low its going to need another transmission or rebuild. Especially if you never serviced it or have gone too far between services.
